Nice article with some good info about Miki's tough season, but some errors (as usual).

Early in the season, Ando skated to Time to Say Goodbye by Christina Aguilera

I guess they meant "hurt." and I do not know if it is "About a circus performer who cannot say goodbye to her father." the music video was about a circus performer who had lost her father...


then earlier in the article the author says she placed poorly in the GPF, but in the next paragraph it states that she did not make the GPF.

That's, er, quite the picture. I keep thinking she's flipping the photographer the bird.

What a picture......;

I think that the interview about the training condition in Japan is outdated. She and Mao now have exclusive ice time at their univ.

"I went to Nikolai because I liked the first program that he did for me so much," Ando said. "I did not have high level choreography before that." "I went to Nikolai because I liked the first program that he did for me so much," Ando said. "I did not have high level choreography before that."

She had fantastic programs choreographed by David Willson. IMO, his choreo looked at the higher level than Morosov's.

You said it!
At times I don't like Wilson's choreography, but those of Miki's Olympics season were truly masterpieces, especially her SP and I get emotinal whenever I watch it.

I think Morosov is more of a coach to Miki than a chreographer IMHO, but who knows, maybe Morosov's choreography and style work for Miki.

I totally agree with you! Her sp to Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence was a true masterpiece!!

The information was double-checked. If you feel there is an error, feel free to email with what you know to be factually wrong so it can be corrected.

In regards to the GPF, you need to re-read paragraphs. She did well in 2006-07, and DNQ for 2007-08.
